"This is the time of year where we want to be playing at our best," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "This is a very important week for our team, beginning with Southeastern on Wednesday night. I have the greatest respect for (SLU coach) Jay Artigues and the program he's built there. They have another excellent team, and we're looking forward to being back in our home ball park to face a tremendous challenge."
